Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited support for advanced features beyond Hidden Markov Models

   The library primarily focuses on HMMs and does not provide extensive support for other machine learning models.

2. 02

   Documentation is sparse and lacks comprehensive examples

   Official documentation provides basic usage but lacks detailed explanations and real-world use cases.

3. 03

   Performance may degrade with very large datasets due to memory limitations

   Cython is used for performance, but the library can still face memory constraints when handling extremely large data sets.

4. 04

   Small and less active community which limits support and contributions

   GitHub activity indicates a small user base with limited pull requests and issues discussions.

What it does well

• High-performance Hidden Markov Models implemented in Cython.

• Support for various probabilistic models including Bayesian Networks and Gaussian Mixture Models.

• Efficient data structures for handling large datasets.
